Bad Bunny is set to star in a new Sony Pictures film as the Marvel comics antihero El Muerto.
In the comics, El Muerto is a wrestler whose powers come from his lucha libre mask. A character that’s appeared in Spider-Man stories, the film is the latest in Sony’s portfolio of characters from the extended Spider-Man universe.
The first Latino actor to headline a live-action Marvel movie, Bad Bunny (born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) stated “To bring El Muerto to life is just incredible … so exciting.”
The part is an appropriate given the Latin musician’s recent professional wrestling debut at WWE’s WrestleMania and Royal Rumble events.
El Muerto is scheduled for theatrical release on January 12, 2024 that follows the singer’s appearance in the Sony Pictures movie Bullet Train with Brad Pitt, Michael Shannon, Joey King, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, and Zazie Beetz
